Bought the MB few weeks ago. Pair with an intel 13500 and 10x16TB HDD + 2xNVME . All works as intended - some few tweaks in BIOS. TrueNAS server (on 2x 500 GB SSD).
What i don't like:
- No option to disable LAN in BIOS (i use a 10Gbe OF card)
- No option to disable dGpu in BIOS (i use an intel A380 for on the fly transcoding - 13500 cannot handle well HEVC transcoding)
First time I have built a PC in a long time and this went fairly well.
Running on i5-14600K with Noctua NH-L9x65 and 2x Crucial 5600 DIMMs, Seasonic SSP-600ES2 power supply.
Super fast shipping (< 1 week to UK). Board worked out of the box. Only gripe is there wasn't a user manual included, but more importantly couldn't find a link to one online ! Also the picture online has the network ports incorrectly labeled (vPro supported one is on the right). BIOS status display is really helpful.
Booting into Ubuntu and vPro (a great feature) running with Meshcommander on my Mac.
Sadly the board arrived bent. The debug LEDs and the NVMe Drive don't work at all. The CPU at least works and I can boot into BIOS, but the RAM keeps failing in memtest and my OS keeps crashing. On paper, it's an amazing board but seemingly quite literally too good to be true :(
